Interesting! In my spare time for the last couple of months I’ve been working on a web-based VJ tool/toy. Nearing v1.0.0, which I hope to release in a week or so.

I was considering submitting a Show HN post too when it hits that point, but didn’t know if there was much interest on here. Turns out there is!

For anyone who is interested, the app I’ve been working on can be found here -> https://hydra.virusav.com

It’s FLOSS and the repo is here -> https://github.com/n3uromanc3r/hydra

Weirdly earlier today (prior to seeing this post) I considered starting a sister project to hydra that allows you to build a mixer and visual pipeline using a node-based system instead of the more rigid standard mixer setup.

Someone needs to code all the modifications, can it be controlled by MIDI
The renderer (visual) has to be made by someone that knows how to build/code such a thing, yeah. Then once presented to the end user via the Hydra web app, that user may or may not have various UI components to influence and adjust the renderer output (sliders, buttons, etc). The app supports MIDI, and various UI components can be assigned to MIDI controls.
